INSTRUCTION Bo. l.
The Court instru cts the jury that in all crimi nal cases the
defen dant's plea of not guilt7 raises a presum ption of innoce nce in
hia favor, whioh it is the dut7 of the Commonwealth, before it oan
ask for a oonvi otion, to overcome by eviden ce which estab lishes the
guilt of the accuse d beyond every reason able doubt , theref ore if the
~ury after hearin g the whole case enter tain any reason able doubt as
to the guilt ef the accuse d, it is their dut7 to find him not
guilty ; end the Court furthe r tells the jury that a reason able doubt
is that state of the case which after compa rison and consi derati on
of all the eviden ce, leaves the minds of the jurors in such condi tion
that they canno t say that they feel an abidin g convi ction to a moral
oerta int7 of the truth of the charg e.

IBSTROCTION Bo. 1.
The Court instructs the jury that in all criminal oases the
defendant's plea of not guilty raises a presumption of innocence in
his favor, which it is the dut7 of the Commonwealth, before it oan
ask for a conviction, to overcome by evidence which establishes the
guilt of the aocueed beyond every reasonable doubt, therefore if the
jury after hearing the whole case entertain any reasonable doubt as
to the guilt of the accused, it is their duty to find him not
guilty; end the Court further tells the jury that a reasonable doubt
is that state of the case which after comparison and consideration
of all the evidence, leaves the minds of the jurors in such condition
that they cannot sa7 that they feel an abiding conviction ~o a moral
certainty of the truth of the charge.

��INSTBU.CTIOB No. 2.
!he Court instructs the jury that before the accused can be
oonvicted of any crime charged under the indictment in this case
the Commonwealth muet proTe beyond eTery reasonable doubt that the

1.
rhe Court in s tructs the jury that in all
crimi nal cases the defendant 's plea of not gu ilty raises
a presumpt ion of innocence in his f var , which it is the
duty of the
ommonwealth , before it can ask for a conviction ,
to overcome by evidence which establishes
he guilt of the
accused beyond every re sonab l e doubt , therefore if the jury
after hea ring t e wh ole case entertain any reasonable doubt
as to the guilt of t he
caused , it is t he ir du ty to f ind h i m
no t guil ty ; and t h e eourt further
ell s the jury th t a rea-
sonab le doubt is that s ta t e of t h e case which
fer co mpar ison
and consid eration of all 1re evidence, leaves the mind s of the
juro rs in such condition that they c annot say t hat they f ee l

Commonwe alth 's At t or n ey
�INSTRUCTION NO. ____1__ .
The Court instructs the jury that in all
criminal cases the defendant's plea of not guilty
raises a presumption of innocence in his favor, which
it is the duty of the Commonwealth, before it can ask
for a conviction, to overcome by evidence which establishes the guilt of the accused beyond every reasonable
doubt, therefore if the jury after hearing the whole
case entertain any reasonable doubt as to the guilt of
the accused, it is their duty to find him not guilty;
and the Court further tells the Jury that a reasonable
doubt is that state of the ca s e wh ich after comparison
and consideration of all the evidence, leaves the minds
of the jurors in such condition that they cannot say
that they feel an abiding conviction to a moral certainty
of the truth of the charge.

The cases have been separated and arranged by the last name of the defendant. <br /><br />For more information on the Prohibition collection, visit the "<a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids">Finding Aids</a>" tab in the menu above.
